Parviz "Khorshid Khanoom" 2026 UK Tour pt. II
Support Marine Quéméré
Parviz's self-titled debut album is slated for 2026: tinged with psych, funk and a touch of Persian classic sounds, it evokes the spirit of Iran’s 70’s music scene, while adding a modern touch. Flowery, kaleidoscopic and contemplative, it’s like an old taping of Iran's beloved music show Rangarang brought back to life, only this time with detuned synths, DIY aesthetics and a certain indie je-ne-sais-quoi. It's at times candid, nostalgic, dreamy and fierce; both rooted in Persian culture and distinctly modern.
Lead single "Azadeh" — a female given name meaning "free-spirited" — pays homage to the "Woman Life Freedom" movement, with artwork by Rana Fadavi emphasising its urgency. Follow-up "Sappho's Fragments" aired on BBC Radio 6 and has totalled half a million streams since its release.
Parviz's music aired on BBC Radio 1 & 6, FIP, and has been found on playlists from Facemelts, A1234 and many more. After touring the UK earlier this year and playing 5 sold out shows, Parviz will be back in November 2026 for the second leg of his “Khorshid Khanoom” tour, and will be playing Sidney & Matilda on 20th November.
